Description

The Story Geeks dig deeper into geek movies (e.g., comic book, fantasy, and science fiction): Star Wars, the DCEU, the MCU, and many more! Despite how deep we go, we try to have fun and stay positive. We've had guests from the Empire Podcast, NerdSync, NerdSoul, Network1901, and AfterBuzzTV!
Our lineup of shows:
- Dig Deeper: We explore the themes, characters, and stories presented in geek films.
- Make It Better: Some geek movies need a little help. We come up with ways to make them better.
- Favorites & Reactions: We give our Top 10s, Top 5s, and react to the latest geek news.
- Serials: We also have special serials we run from time-to-time, like our time travel adventure audiobook, TIMESLINGERS!
If you like Batman, Indiana Jones, Han Solo, Superman, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Black Panther, Iron Man, Deadpool... or any other comic book, sci-fi, or fantasy movies (the list is too long!)... you should subscribe to The Story Geeks podcast!

SO good.

I love this podcast. Jay and Daryl are so funny and thoughtful, and have such interesting guests with so many conflicting perspectives, and yet everyone has fun and respects each others’ take. It’s amazing how these guys can see this deeper level to even “light” superhero movies. Listening is like having a conversation at dinner with smart, geeky friends after watching a blockbuster - they end up talking about this deep stuff (world views, right and wrong, politics, spiritual perspectives, etc.) without insulting anybody and having a lot of fun. You just walk away feeling good. I recommend it to all my fellow geeks and deep thinkers!

AWESOME

These guys are doing so many things right! The story geeks is a must-subscribe-to podcast for anyone who wants to dissect their favorite movies beyond just a typical movie review! The story geeks are open-minded, respectful, and can be goofy as well as serious. The story geeks community is often described by all the members, participators, and listeners as a safe space to geek out!
